Total nucleic acids are extracted from a culture of cells and are then mixed with resin beads to which the polynucleotide 5'-TTT

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT-3' has been covalently attached. After a short incubation, the beads are then extracted from the mixture. When you analyze the cellular nucleic acids that have stuck to the beads, which of the following molecules do you expect to be most abundant?A. DNA.
B. tRNA.
C. rRNA. (it is not this one, I put this and it was wrong.)
D. mRNA.
E. Primary transcript RNA.

Answer:

D. mRNA.

Explanation:

Polyadenylation is defined as the addition of poly (A) to messenger RNA. This tail is made up of several adenosine monophosphates (adenine bases). In eukaryotes, polyadenylation is part of the process in which messenger RNA is formed for subsequent translation. Therefore, it is part of the process of gene expression.

Answer: D mRNA

Explanation:

mRNA (Messenger RNA) is a single-stranded RNA molecule that corresponds to the genetic sequence of a gene and is read by the ribosome in the process of producing a protein and it carries the genetic information copied from DNA in the form of a series of three-base code “words,” each of which specifies a particular amino acid.mRNA is the most abundant because it is the only type of RNA that is polyadenylated and the poly (A) tail would be able to base pair with the strands of poly(T) on the beads and thus stick to them. DNA would not be found in the sample, as the poly (A) tail is not encoded int he DNA and long runs of T are rare in DNA.

What is the difference between directional selection and disruptive selection
morpeh [17]
Directional selection is where one phenotype is favored, so an example would be "a population of madagascar hissing cockroaches suffers heavy predation from lizards. Because their heads are small, the lizards are unable to eat the very largest adult cockroaches, and instead prey upon small and medium sized adults, so as a result the large cockroaches are favored and live". 
Meanwhile, disruptive selection is where both extreme phenotypes are favored, an example would be "a population of rabbits can have black fur, white fur or grey fur. This population of rabbits lives in an area of white rocks. When a local volcano erupts, black volcanic rock now dots the landscape amongst the white rocks. Now the black and white rabbits live longer because the black and white spots on the landscape camoflauge them. The two extreme phenotypes are being favored."

You INCORRECTLY perform an acid-fast stain on a smear from a mixed culture of Mycobacterium smegmatis (acid-fast) cells and Stap
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

In acid-fast staining, carbon fuchsin is used as a primary stain which dissolves the mycolic acid present in the cell wall of <em>Mycobacterium smegmatis </em>and penetrates through it which results in staining <em>Mycobacterium</em> red.

Staphylococcus aureus cell wall does not contain mycolic acid so carbon fuchsin does not penetrate its cell wall, therefore, it becomes colorless after destaining with acid alcohol.

After destaining step methylene blue is added to stain non-acid-fast bacteria blue. So if I mistakenly forgot to use methylene blue during the procedure <em>Mycobacterium smegmatis</em> will appear red due to carbon fuchsin present in their cell wall and S<em>taphylococcus aureus</em> will appear colorless because it is destained.
